Copper is quite simply everywhere.

And if the copper comes from Brixlegg, you can be sure that it is the most environmentally friendly copper (Sustainable Copper for a greener future) in the world. In Brixlegg, copper is produced exclusively from scrap. Copper can be recycled an infinite number of times and retains its material properties. Since this is exactly what is done in Brixlegg – as the starting point and end point of the value chain at the same time – Montanwerke Brixlegg AG goes one step further beyond the natural properties: the copper from Brixlegg is 100% upcycled copper (copper and sustainability).

Basically, the recycling process is much more environmentally friendly than the extraction from copper ores: the production requires up to 85% less energy input. Moreover, 100% of the electricity required is produced using the power of renewable forms of energy (hydropower). In addition to clean energy sources, many other targeted efficiency and environmental measures (e.g. closed-loop recycling, short transport routes and extremely low CO2 values) were implemented at an early stage in Brixlegg. All this together, makes the high-quality copper from Brixlegg the best copper for a sustainable future.

Currently, the sustainable copper from Brixlegg stands out from the rest. Our copper boasts the world’s lowest CO2 footprint, thanks to our commitment to using 100% recycled raw materials and 100% renewable energy for our electricity needs. As a result, we are able to produce eco-friendly copper with the smallest CO2 emissions on the planet. Our actions are not only meeting the current demand, but also paving the way for climate neutrality in the future as the first link in the supply chain.
